A good night's sleep helps!

Finally, I got my hair done today. That is
always a morale builder. Better yet, Robert
and I slept soundly for the first time since
September 5th. It's amazing how much a good
night's sleep helps.

After my hair appointment I went to Michael's
and picked out some artsy stuff for Ariel. They
are going on our annual trip to Gothic to spend
the weekend there with Robyn and Janis. Robert
and I are just not up for that at this time.
I usually spend a lot of time with Ariel while
the grown ups hike and talk...It's hard to be
the only child with 4 adults. Hopefully, when
she gets bored Carl will bring out the package
and it'll keep her content for a while. She
is very creative and has quite a talent for
drawing and making things.

Tomorrow Jeanne comes, early AM. That will be
lovely.

Saturday friends Karl and Gretchen are coming
to help with the outside clean-up. We haven't
seen them in a long time. First, they moved
to Texas and then to New Zealand. I think they
have been back for a year and living near
Cherry Creek, but we just haven't gotten
together. It'll be fun to see them.
